Stephen King is one. While best known for his horror work, Eyes of the Dragon is a fantasy novel written for a younger audience, in particular his 13 year old (at the time) daughter.
The novel was written so that his daughter, who was 13 at the time, would be able to read one of his works. According to a quote from the Stephen King Website:"Although I had written thirteen novels by the time my daughter had attained an equal number of years, she hadn't read any of them. She'd made it very clear that she loved me, but had very little interest in my vampires, ghoulies, and slushy crawling things. I sat down one night in our western Maine house to start this story, then called "The Napkins." Eventually the tale was told and Naomi took hold of the finished manuscript with a marked lack of enthusiasm. That look gradually changed to one of rapt interest as the story kidnapped her. It was good to have her come to me later and give me a hug and tell me the only thing wrong with it was that she didn't want it to end."
King has also written other works outside the horror genre. A list of his works is available on his website http://www.stephenking.com/

Ken Follet what a GREAT author
Wrote primarily mysteries (my favorite is of course the Eye of the Needle)
wrote Pillars of the Earth, great generational story of the building of a cathedral.
